for about $150 or so less, I would need a pretty good reason not to. seems like blox is getting a lot of attention lately.

In the past D-sport issue, they did a dyno of the blox IM on a GSR and it made 11 Hp. I have no first hand experience, just sharing what I read.

He left the stock p72 ecu in when he added the blox manifold, and he wasnt tuned. The stock gsr manifold has secondaries and primaries and the blox doesnt (just primaries). He would have to get a new ecu to see gains with this manifold.

read the entire thread. he added a vafc, activated the vtec higher and still achieved the same results. at some point, we are going to have to stop making excuses. i have seen this happen over and over. p72 vs. itr/s2/blox, p30 vs. itr/s2/str.

Re: (B16C1)

Bro i did read the entire thread and your right he did tune it, but we dont know how good his tuning is, and you cant get a precise tune with vafc like you could with hondata etc. Im not making excuses to support or bash blox, but how come in other threads people are making a alright gain with the IM. Is it comparable to the victor x mani? We all know that vic X mani isnt good for na but it is for boost. What are An-R and other guys doing that this person is not doing to get a 8-9 whp gain. I dont have beef just curiosity for a new product. let me know

also i know its pointless to use hondata unless you have added new pistons, cams etc. and i am aware he is gonna put it back on later.

Its good to see you got your issues worked out with it. What did you ever figure out what was wrong?

Re: (yeegsr)

I think the blox intake manifold would give even better performance if it were
match ported. Mine had huge casting marks just inside the manifold that had
to be sanded down.

I just bought a blox manifold, but have not had time to install it, and my car is in the body shop from where someone ran a red light and smashed the front of my car.

LOL! exactly my point. the funny thing is when he hits the dyno, the truth will be revealed. think about it for a second....if you lose 10whp & 10wtq for say, 1000rpm, then get hit by a blast of 15whp@5700rpm, it will feel serious....wait until you dyno that im, you'll be suprised. you know what i find even funnier, when peolpe remove the butterflies on the gsr im, to free up hp up top.....people really think that its worth losing as much as 17wtq in the midrange (it happened to my boy on the dyno when he removed them from his jdm 18c) to get 3whp @ 8K. idiots, the VTEC acronym has the world thinking that you have to rev above 9K to go fast, LOL!

Re: (B16C1)

I really think i will be keeping the stock IM instead of installing the s2. i'd rather keep the midrange since this is my daily driver.

maybe you cant read or you like to insult people but as i posted the thread i was cleary emphasized that "I HAVENT DYNO YET, BUT I DO FEEL THE GAIN IN TOP END" so dont correct me for not being very accurate...cuz i did not say it was accurate at the start
